The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

Friendship is nothing else than an accord in all things, human and divine, conjoined with mutual goodwill and affection.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, does the heart find its morning and is refreshed.

There is a magic in the memory of a schoolboy friendship. It softens the heart, and even affects the nervous system of those who have no heart.

I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.

Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Friendship is love without his wings!

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
